Faculty Directory
The Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts faculty and staff are committed to developing Purdue graduates who can compete in the global job market, think creatively, and assess and articulate arguments.
We honor free expression and seek to cultivate an atmosphere where democratic rights and responsibilities are understood, practiced, and valued among students. We respect our students, our subject matter, and the classroom experience. Each time we step into that space, we remember the privilege given to us: to educate all students from across the Purdue campus.
